Gigabyte has introduced the Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE CQDIMM Edition motherboard at CES 2026, targeting high-performance consumer applications.

The motherboard relies on two DIMM slots rather than the traditional four, which requires users to install the more expensive 128GB modules to reach a total of 256GB of memory.

The innovation centers on CQDIMM hardware combined with optimized BIOS tuning.

This Mini-ITX motherboard with four DDR5 slots could end up as rival to Nvidia's Petaflop AI mini PCDDR5 RAM with a triple-fan cooler on top will be shown off at CES 20262026 could well be the year of the $500 32GB DDR5 memory module — experts predict DDR will go up by 60% in Q1 2026 alone

CQDIMM technology

The motherboard circuitry reduces memory channel load, which improves signal integrity and supports stable operation at full capacity.

The BIOS architecture manages timing, voltage, and signal synchronization, enabling DDR5-7200 frequencies ...
